134: Application for renewal of casino venue licence

You could also call this:

"How to renew a licence for a casino in New Zealand"

If you have a casino venue licence, you can apply to the Gambling Commission to renew it. You must apply between one and two years before your licence expires. Your application must be on the right form and include a casino impact report, which looks at how the casino affects the local area and New Zealand.

You need someone the Commission approves to prepare the casino impact report, and it must be independent of you. The report must look at what might happen if the casino stays open or closes, and it must cover any other matters the Commission wants. The Commission can say what research must be done for the report.

You have to pay for the casino impact report if you want to renew your casino venue licence.
